I've always been true
I've waited so long just to come hold you
I'm making it through
It's been far too long
We've proven our love over time's so strong, in all that we do
The stars in the night, they lend me their light
To bring me closer to heaven with you
But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you
Gunslinger ~ Avenged Sevenfold
Peyton's POV
I let myself inside and threw my bag on the couch. Well tonight ended a little differently to what I'd planned.
I'd gone to a party with my boyfriend and left by myself because he was a stinking liar.
I don't know why he lied? He could have told me the truth. It wouldn't have effected the way I felt about him. But why tell me they were seperated when they apparently weren't?
"Fuck." I cried to nobody in particular.
She was pregnant. Pregnant. How fucking horrible was that.
I needed to stop thinking about it. I needed to.....what? I didn't know.
I walked into my bedroom, looking around. Matt's stuff was everywhere and that just brought on more tears.
He lied to me. He fucking lied to me and that Tess, I hated her so much, I'd never met anyone who got such joy out of hurting someone else, I really hadn't.
I went into the bathroom, I might as well just go to bed, cry myself to sleep. My heart was breaking into a million pieces. I'd let him in, I'd fallen in love with him and this is what happens.
I wrapped my arm up and jumped into the shower, closing my eye's, trying not to think about Matt but I couldn't, he was all I could think about. Maybe sleep would help, but I was lying to myself, there'd be no sleep for me tonight.
I was still crying as I got out, it seemed I couldn't stop, it just hurt so much, he'd hurt me so much.
I dried myself, crying quietly, putting on my pyjamas and then I looked in the mirror as I cleaned my teeth. God I looked terrible, eye's all bloodshot, still crying.
I wiped away the tears but it was useless, more replaced them and I turned and opened the door.
Fuck.
I slammed it again, engaging the lock.
He was sitting on my bed. How dare he sit on my bed!
"Peyton." He said softly from the other side of the door.
"Go away." I cried.
"Open the door."
"No." Damn, now I was crying even harder.
"Peyton, open the fucking door."
"Go away."
He banged on it. "Don't make me kick the door in." He said.
"Just leave Matt, there isn't anything you can say that will make me open this door."
"Peyton please." He begged.
"You lied to me and you made me look like an idiot." I sobbed, wiping my face.
"I never lied to you babe." He said softly from the other side of the door. "I would never lie to you."
I closed my eye's, leaning my forehead against the door, wanting to believe him so badly.
"Peyton." He murmured. "Open the door."
I couldn't, I just couldn't open it. "No." I whispered.
He went quiet. Maybe he left? I was going to open the door, but maybe it was trick. I jut didn't know. It seemed I didn't know anything anymore.
"Peyton." He suddenly said from just the other side of the door. He must have been leaning on it like me. "Peyton, Tiff was pregnant when she died."
I closed my eye's, letting the disappointment sweep over me.
"But I didn't tell you for a reason."
A reason? What reason could there be for lying to me?
"Babe." He murmured and the sound of his voice hurt me. I covered my mouth so he wouldn't hear my sobs. "The baby wasn't mine." He fell silent for a moment. "I didn't tell you because it wasn't my baby."
It wasn't his?
"Tiff had a new boyfriend, it was his baby Peyton, not mine."
She had a new boyfriend? Why would Tess tell me it was Matt's baby?
"Peyton please open the door." He asked again.
I looked down at the door knob, unlocking it quietly.
I took a deep breath and opened the door.
He was standing just on the other side. "I would never lie to you, I've told you everything. Everything. Every little thing."
I looked at him. "Really?" I whispered, wiping my cheeks.
He groaned and pulled me into his arms. "Yes." He murmured into my ear.
I wrapped my arms around him, holding him tightly. I didn't want to let him go, ever.
"There is one thing I didn't tell you." He murmured.
I felt my heart drop. What now? What was it now?
I pulled back, putting my hands on his chest and trying to push him away, but he held onto me tighter and I just wanted him to let me go.
"Peyton." He said, wrapping me up so tightly and pulling me to his chest. "I didn't tell you that I love you." He whispered. "I'm in love with you baby, I love you Peyton."
He loved me! Was he being serious?
"You do?" I snuffled, trying to look up at his face.
He looked down at me and smiled, running his thumb across my cheek. "Yeah I really do."
He kissed me softly and I closed my eye's. He loved me. God how I loved him, so much.
"I love you." He murmured again.
"I love you." I whispered softly.
"And please." He told me, smiling down at me. "Please come to me in future, if anybody ever says anything to you, don't run off. We've been running away from eachother for too long."
I nodded. He was right of course, we had both been running away, but now, now there would be no more running.
"I promise." I whispered.
"Good."
And he kissed me again.
